And so it comes as no surprise that the complex has one of the most innovative redundant power and Facility Management Systems ever developed. Part of the resort, The Palazzo Las Vegas, has been awarded a Silver LEED® Certificate (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) by the U. S. Green Building Council. According to the Council, The Palazzo is not only the largest LEED-certified building in existence, but is over four times bigger than the second-largest recipient of the designation.

A commitment to green and sustainable processes can be seen throughout the resort.
